With a new album coming out in just a couple of weeks, Demi Lovato has put her troubles behind her and is focusing on the future.

The 19 year-old singer says she still struggles with those personal issues (an eating disorder and cutting) as anyone in recovery does, but Lovato says the decisions she makes now and her friends keep her on the right path.

“I surround myself with people that are beneficial in my recovery and my recovery is still a daily battle and I definitely hang out with people that support me in making the right decisions,” Lovato said.

“I’m a happier and healthier person today because of the choices I’ve made.”

The “Skyscraper” singer said those good choices have helped her overcome so much and that the title of her album reflects her being able to rise and rebuild her life.

“Unbroken is basically me and who I am today,” Lovato continued. “I’m unbroken and after everything I’ve been through I’m still standing strong, like a skyscraper.”

Unbroken goes on sale September 20th. See the cover art here.

Ashton Kutcher has a new day job with his role in Two and A Half Men but the show he created for MTV, Punk’d, is moving ahead with a new version.

Last October, rumors swirled that Justin Bieber was going to be the new prankster taking celebrities down the hidden camera way. While that may not be the case any longer, the Biebs is involved in at least one of the new shows and he’s already gotten a practical joke over on his pal Taylor Swift.

While we don’t know the specific shenanigans JB got up to involving the unsuspecting Swift, we do know it was filmed Friday in Los Angeles.

This should be good. Justin loves a good prank and would make a great Kutcher 2.0 don’t you think?

Ashton is still serving as the producer on the new show and each week a different celeb hosts. Sounds like Justin and Taylor are up first.

Joe Jonas revealed the cover art for his album Fastlife this week.

In the cover shot, Jonas is standing still, the calm center of the storm, while life is speeding past all around him. Sounds about right for a busy and in-demand artist, right?

The 22 year-old is set to open for Britney Spears‘ tour in Europe beginning in October.

Jonas will appear at the 2011 MTV VMAs tonight, August 28th.

Fastlife drops October 11th.

Ashley Tisdale got in some quality BFF time Friday night.

The Phineas & Ferb actress hung with friends Vanessa Hudgens, Samantha Droke, Shelley Buckner and some other gal pals for a fun girls night out. Tisdale tweeted the photo.

“So glad to have @shelleybuckner home! #girlsnight” she said.

Earlier in the week, Ashley was in Toronto and caught up with former Hellcats costars Sharon Leal and Heather Hemmens. The 26 year-old was in Canada to promote the fashion line Hollywood Era Collection. She is the new face of the clothing brand.

Taylor Lautner is set to muscle his way to the top of the male action stars with his new flick Abduction.

The 19 year-old gets to take on some of the exciting and dangerous stunts in the film and we get a first hand look at Taylor showing off his fearless athleticism.

“I got to do some awesome fight scenes, jumping off walls and car chases,” Lautner said.

Costar Jason Issacs says Taylor is a force to be reckoned with.

“Taylor’s not only a really fabulous actor, he’s also a gifted athlete,” he said. “He could take the entire crew with his hands tied behind his back.”

Abduction opens September 23rd.

Emma Watson and Johnny Simmons are taking their romance to the City of Lights with a trip to romantic Paris.

The couple shopped at the Maje boutique on rue Saintonge for over an hour, with Emma trying on lots of outfits for Johnny’s opinion, according to one shop employee.

“They seem very in love, very cute,” the employee said.

“She did her own shopping – she knows what she likes,” adds the employee. “She picked out outfits and he made some suggestions, picking out items which she tried on in the dressing cabin, then coming to model for him.”

Watson, 21, ended up with quite a fashionable haul. The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows star left with sweaters, dresses, jeans, a coat, scarves and sandals and boots.

Emma met Simmons, 24, while they were filming The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The two denied being a couple but were soon seen kissing in Los Angeles.

Watson will be seen in the November release My Week With Marilyn. Simmons is also starring in the 21 Jump Street reboot due next year.

It’s getting close to the return of The Vampire Diaries and we’ve got photos from the season 3 opener “The Birthday” and some details of the ep.

We know the show starts up with Elena’s 18th birthday (so she’s legal guardian to her younger brother Jeremy, now that Aunt Jenna is dead.) Stefan is on his Great Ripper Race with Klaus and Damon is brooding. Caroline and Tyler are getting closer – much closer. Jeremy still sees dead people, but now he does it at the Mystic Grill, working with Matt.

TVD returns Thursday, September 15th at 8pm ET.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner take the lead in the new and official The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 movie poster.

This movie is all about the wedding and honeymoon and the poster reflects that – with Bella in her honeymoon outfit.

Highlighting the Cullen family couples: Edward (Pattinson) and Bella (Stewart,) Rosalie (Nikki Reed) and Emmett (Kellan Lutz,) Alice (Ashley Greene) and Jasper (Jackson Rathbone,) and Carlisle (Peter Facinelli)  and Esme (Elizabeth Reaser) all wrapped in each others arms. Cozy.

Poor Jacob – he’s all alone.

What do you think? Do you like this poster?

The Vampire Diaries stars are red hot and Rolling Stone grabs the super sexy leads for a fun photo shoot.

Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev fall, jump and stare in the hottest way possible. I mean seriously – who else but these three can fall and look absolutely amazing at the same time!

Here’s what they had to say:

Ian wants you to peep TVD: “The whole Twilight thing is about to be over. And teenage girls can’t watch True Blood with their parents — that would just get weird. So we’re getting ready to kick some major ass this season.”

Nina on the photo shoot: “We’ve been doing a photo shoot that’s unlike any that we’ve done before,” says Dobrev. “We’re testing the limits of gravity.” (Err… falling is actually adhering to the laws of gravity… I’m guessing she’s referring to how the end shots look.)

TVD is back with season 3 premiering Thursday, September 15th at 8pm ET. Their issue of Rolling Stone (with the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the cover) is on sale now.
